Emzymes -pH Test Flashcards
1
Q
Emzymes
A
- special proteins
- helps speed up reactions
- digestive enzymes breaks food into small soluble molecules
- making it soluble means it can absorb into the bloodstream
2
Q
Carbohydrate digestion
A
- carbohydrase enzymes breaks nutrient down
- digestions of starch begins in the saliva (mouth)
- later broken into starch-sugar
3
Q
Protein digestion
A
- protease enzymes breaks nutrients down.
- protease works in the stomach
- broken into proteins-amino acids
4
Q
Fats digestions
A
- lipase enzymes break down nutrient
- lipase enzymes work in the small intestines
- broken into fats-fatty acids and glycerol
5
Q
pH
A
- pH 0-6 is acids
- pH 7-14 is alkali (reactive)
6
Q
Key word-reproducible
A
Whether something is repeatable/redoable
7
Q
Key word-independent varible
A
Things you changed
8
Q
Key word-dependent varible
A
The things you measured
